Here's one way to stump even the most ardent dessert fan: Quiz them on what differentiates a crisp from a crumble, a crumble from a cobbler, a cobbler from a buckle, a buckle from a pandowdy. Intracacies aside, they are all delicious—the crumbs are tender and buttery, the biscuits sugared and browned, the oats caramelized and crispy. The fruit flows molten beneath. They are exuberantly messy—and best with a shower of cream or a scoop of vanilla melting over it. Plus: They feed a crowd, are easy to transport, and please just about everyone. And for all these reasons, we're bringing back a favorite roundup of crumbly, fruity recipes from 2015 and refreshing it for 2016.

For me it's buckle and cobbler. Especially my recipe for blueberry buckle (no idea where I got it) and blackberry- nectarine cobbler, more or less adapted from Cook's and from Canal House Cooking 4. Absolutely the best!
